Pebble Pottery

By Carleigh Reiffer

The Origin Story

Summer of 2023 a friend reached out to me because she had found a tiny grey and white kitten all alone under a tire in her neighborhood. She had been looking after him for a few days but ultimately couldn’t keep him. Immediately I knew that he would be my best friend. I quickly ran to my car to pick him up and bring him to his forever home. It was love at first sight… the kitten was only 5 weeks old, far too young to be without his mom. I went to the store to get special kitten formula and a bottle and made a vet appointment for the following morning.

Meanwhile the little guy needed a name. After much deliberation we settled on the name Pebble, after the two grey patches of fur on his legs (and his size, “just a little baby pebble”). After the vet confirmed he was healthy it was off to the races.

While all of this was going on I had decided to start selling my functional work at farmers markets and on Etsy. Thus, Pebble Pottery was born!
